My Mom's living room is a library. She loaded me up with about 5 novels. I didn't expect to have 2 of them read already (less than a week).

I just want you to know that I jinxed myself when I said it wasn't as hot today. Sitting here in front of this computer - I am now sweating.

Yes, 98 here... Sorry sweet, get the A/C on. If you want to, I won't make you... I want to go to your moms house... lol

I know - she has all these books - she even started buying double because she can't remember what she has. We bought her this gadget for christmas that she can download books to and then read them from there. I don't know how many it holds - but she was always lugging around all these books when she travels (which is alot). This thing is lighter than a good novel. But, the downside (which is for those of us that get what she has already read) is that she doesn't have the books just lying around anymore.

I have been on a book hunt to make one of my walls, a book wall. The whole thing just books from top to bottom, I don't care what the book is about, history, a novel, true to life, anything. The kids have their books why can't I have mine? I love them and I really wish to get the book wall when we move. It would have course be open to anyone that would like to borrow one!

We have a "library" in our house. We have it filled with antique books. They are prettier to look at, but not extremely interesting. Not for me anyway. I like different material I guess. I should probably up my standards!

I have 9 six-foot-tall bookshelves packed with books.

I need a library.

startover22 · Jul 10, 2007, 03:03 PM

I am in love with antiques. Books and furniture... I have a few old books but I hardley everread them. I have 10 years wrth of my Great great aunties journals... BORING! No drama in them what so ever, births, marriages, ceremonies, deaths, and when they picked the corn... LOL

startover22 · Jul 10, 2007, 03:04 PM

I for some reason can't type anymore. I took too long of a break from here...

NowWhat · Jul 10, 2007, 03:26 PM

I have kept journals since I graduated hs. And when I read them now - I want to crawl under a rock. They don't even make BAD soap operas about the stuff I wrote about. I have to remember to burn them before they can be passed to my daughter. How embarrassing! I may keep the ones that have her dad in them. Other than that - it is just teenage bs!

startover22 · Jul 10, 2007, 03:30 PM

That is so cool. I am starting one tonight. I have this huge list of goals and that is one of them, a big fat journal

JoeCanada76 · Jul 10, 2007, 04:36 PM

Wow, everybody could open up their own libraries. Pretty cool.

It was so hot and we had a cold front coming through. There was severe thunderstorm warnings and tornado warnings here for a couple of hours. Apparently its been dropped to watches now.

Phew, about 30 minutes away from us are known for tornadoes. As long as it touches down in fields and avoids everything else.

Hope Start, Nowwhat, Synnen, Mango and everybody else is having a great night.

Joe

startover22 · Jul 10, 2007, 04:47 PM

Hi Joe, yes a library would be very cool. Glad the heat is gone for a moment. But don't get swept away in a tornado, that would be crazy... I hope you are great, tell the family I say hi...

I just want to say that the more I listen to the Dixie Chicks, the better I like them.

The song Lullaby is slowly coming to the top of my all-time favorite list

startover22 · Jul 10, 2007, 05:46 PM

My husband doesn't like them because of what they said. I still like them though. They are great, I haven't heard their stuff since the Earl song CD! I saw their video on CMT and like one of them.

mango7777 · Jul 10, 2007, 05:52 PM

Hi my friends :)

I hate to say this, But...........currently there is fog a commin' and I am going to need a sweater :eek: West Coast.

I can already hear it...

Quickly off that subject... I love antique books, too. I love rooms filled with books. Wherever they may be. I love getting lost in the library. I can just sit in an isle, all by myself, and get lost. Whewwww.

I love the way antique books smell, weird, but true. It reminds me of my grandmas/grandpas Study. Olfactory kicking in.

Lately I have been reading a lot of deep stuff and I thing it is time for FUN. LALALALALALALA

Good to have friends like "yous-guys"

Synnen · Jul 10, 2007, 05:54 PM

Lol... the day of my wedding... All of my bridesmaids came from out of town, except my sister. She set it all up for me, and we all got our hair and nails and stuff done at the same time that morning, we basically reserved an entire salon.

We listened to "Goodbye Earl" on a continuous loop. I thought it was the most hilarious song in the world to listen to right before getting married.

As far as not liking what they had to say... I can't be mad at them. They were saying the same thing I was. So what that they were famous and saying it? I still agree.

startover22 · Jul 10, 2007, 06:00 PM

You and my husband will be getting along well then. He was telling me what to type last night for his posts, and finally I said there is no way will I say that, he ended up making friends and having his way with them... BY HIMSELF! So be it. Oh well I say. I love the fact that you guys played that song. Too funny.. My kids used to love that song, and of course my husband hated it. He is obviously pretty hard headed.

Wish we were next door neighbors, we would be able to smell antique books together!! SWEATER?? Glad you got right to the point and then right off! I have been reading deep stuff too. I love it all. You are great Mango...

mango7777 · Jul 10, 2007, 06:12 PM

Meeeeeeeee, tooooooooooo.
I think you would be really fun to hang with... "Tru Neighbors" are hard to find.

Oh, by the way, I love Craigslist. Especially the "Free" category. It is so cool the way people just say "here, come and get it-to a good home, etc." And it's not just junk, :p it's decent.

Sorry to say good bye for now, I'm off for the next thing on my schedule.
I will pray for the Fog to roll your way:)
